I'm not sure what you mean by saying "I switched the the sockets around high beams to low beams"

did you check the bulbs?

All 3 (fog, high, and low) use the same H7 55W bulb (in the '99's halogen system)

B/c there is also a "city light" in the housing, a lot of people don't notice one bulb burnt out until both go...

I'd suggest taking all 3 bulbs on one side housing and move them all one spot either clockwise or counter c/w. Test and see which is still burnt out.

Let us know what you find.
